James Biden To Testify in Joe Biden's Impeachment Inquiry

Those big checks, one for $200,000, which was claimed to be a "loan repayment," will be a major area of questioning.

James Biden's testimony is a significant development in the impeachment inquiry. His involvement in the Biden family's business ventures, particularly those with foreign entities, has been a focal point of the investigation. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has stated that the Biden family and their business associates brought in more than $24 million between 2014 and 2019 by "selling Joe Biden as 'the brand' around the world."

James Biden is also expected to be questioned on "loan repayment" checks -- one for $200, 000 and another for $40, 000 -- that he wrote to the president. Comer said that James Biden "received $600, 000 in loans from Americore -- a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator." "On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200, 000 loan into James and Sara Biden's personal bank account -- not their business bank account," he continued. "And then, on the very same day, James Biden wrote a $200, 000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden."

Politico actually bothered reporting on James Biden's promotion of the bankrupt company Americore, using Joe Biden's name to open doors.


In 2017, a hospital operator set out to build a rural health care empire with the help of a Philadelphia-area consultant.

The consultant, Jim Biden, had no experience running hospitals. But he did understand the federal government and had ties to labor unions. Perhaps more important, he was the younger brother of Joe Biden.

The final years of the Obama administration had cemented the former vice president's towering stature in the world of health care, where he had made the fight against cancer a top federal priority and, then, a centerpiece of his legacy-building efforts.

For then 67-year-old Jim Biden, the third of four Biden siblings, his ties to his older brother made up much of his pitch as he pursued deals that could help Americore make money from drug rehab, lab testing and even cancer treatment.

"This would be a perfect platform to expose my Brothers team to [your] protocol," Jim Biden wrote to the CEO of a Tampa-area company that controlled licensing rights to an experimental cancer treatment the hospital operator wanted to offer. "Could provide a great opportunity for some real exposure."

The brother he's talking about is Joe Biden, of course.


The email, obtained by POLITICO from a person close to the company, documents one of the many ways in which Jim Biden invoked his brother's name and clout in the course of his work with Americore, which has since gone bankrupt, wreaking havoc in rural communities in the process.

Jim Biden spoke of plans to give his brother equity in Americore, according to one former Americore executive, and install him on its board, according to a second. He also said that if Americore could find a winning business model for rural health care, his brother could promote the company in a future presidential campaign, a third former executive told POLITICO. All were granted anonymity to discuss a company mired in legal and political controversy

In order to fund Americore's expansion, Jim Biden offered to secure capital from investors in the Middle East, according to the emails and executives. When the expected money did not arrive, it aggravated Americore's preexisting financial issues. The company collapsed, leaving behind unpaid bills and neglected patients.


...

In September, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused one of Jim Biden's business partners of fraud related to loans to the company, allegations the business partner has denied.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department found that Americore's hospital in Pennsylvania entered into sham service agreements and paid kickbacks as part of a scheme that billed the government for medically unnecessary lab tests the hospital shipped out to be performed elsewhere.

Those actions are at the center of a federal prosecution of a $100 million conspiracy to defraud Medicare that has netted a guilty plea from the recipient of the kickbacks, and, according to a person familiar with the case, remains ongoing.


...

As the layers of activity that occurred in and around Americore are peeled back in a federal prosecution in Pennsylvania, a bankruptcy court in Kentucky, and tense witness interviews on Capitol Hill, a POLITICO investigation renders the most detailed picture to date of the ways in which Joe Biden's relatives leveraged his public stature to advance a private business venture.

The investigation -- based on public records, court filings, dozens of interviews and hundreds of exclusively obtained internal documents -- reveals that Jim Biden's role at Americore was larger than previously reported:...

The investigation also reveals that Joe Biden's name and inner circle were more involved with the company than has been understood: In addition to the accounts provided by former executives, investor materials described Jim Biden as an adviser to his older brother. And on top of Joe Biden's own previously reported encounter with the firm's CEO, at least three of Joe Biden's relatives did work with Americore. They include Jim Biden's wife, Sara, and his son, Jamie. The president's son, Hunter Biden also met with its CEO, and his personal doctor -- current White House physician Kevin O'Connor -- joined a meeting with Jim Biden and the president of a hospital being acquired by Americore, according to a former executive and emails obtained by

He never spoke to Hunter or Jim Biden about their "businesses," though. And he never spoke to their "business" associates. And when he did speak to their "business" associates, it was just to talk about the fucking weather.

You believe that, right? You're a weak willed individual of very low IQ who will robotically nod your stupid puppet head at any bullshit the media feeds you, right?

If the moron media told you that you were a bug, you'd believe that too, right?

"Ex-Informant Accused of Lying About Bidens Said He Had Russian Contact

In the memo, prosecutors portrayed the former informant, Alexander Smirnov, 43, as a serial liar incapable of telling the truth about even the most basic details of his own life. But Mr. Smirnov told federal investigators that “officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story” about Hunter Biden."

See that, folks? All the stuff about Hunter is false and the 565 intelligence officers who claimed it was "Russian Disinfo!" were correct!!!

That case is ongoing and the Judge admonished the tranny because he was paying all his fines and fees in $1 bills. One bill was over $400 and another was over $600. The Judge ordered the tranny not to pay any fines using bills in denominations less than $10.

Proof positive, if you've ever needed it, that actual results don't matter to the left or to government.

Cancer is still alive and kicking. But Biden "made it a priority" and wasted billions of tax dollars that didn't lead to anything. Hence, he is a great health care president.

Too bad we can't have a dark version of Charlotte- a tarantula perhaps/ who puts up a big web outside the Whitehouse with some message in it, although " some pig" seems appropriate for Biden- with the web symbolizing the Biden family web of corruption and then things would take off-in a way that ensures payback/ for their corruption.

166 Trump is prohibited from doing business in NY for 3 years.
Don Jr and Eric 2 years.
Their businesses/holdings will be run into the ground by the woman in charge of overseeing them.
There will be nothing left for Trump to "leave" behind in NY.
It's not the fine and the interest pulled out of thin air it's the total we will reduce him to ashes and make sure he never rises again scenario and the cherry is seeing his sons punished, too.

167 I really do not understand how there is no legal authority that can overtuen this kind of travesty. This is one Judge and one prosecutor who had total control over what evidence could be included. Remember, no jury in this "trial". The Judge from day one said that Trump was guilty and no amount of evidence to the contrary was considered including from the banks that provided the loans. This was obviously a classic Kangaroo court(wonder where that term came from?) which is anathema to our laws. How is there no push back from any corner other than opining on media?

I don't know how they conducted the research for the dancing study, but I find it hard to believe it was rigorous enough to reach whatever conclusion they did.

But that's what plagues all mental health research: poorly controlled studies. You can't force people to move no other way than dancing, and you can't really force the control groups to not dance at all.

So how do you know it's dancing what did the trick?

You don't. But the CBT people conduct "research" that proves how good it is too, and for many many many people, it's not.

@Daniel Goldman: The Comer/Jordan impeachment sham appears to have been a Russian intelligence operation from the start. The only remaining question is whether Rs were witting or unwitting agents of Putin in their desperate quest to get Trump reelected. Will the GOP continue to work for Putin?

Now we're cooking with gasoline! That goes straight to the heart of the matter. Recall how Russia had operatives at the NRA, Maria Butina? was her name.[/i

Remember too, US Senators and House Representatives travel to Moscow to celebrate the Fourth Of July - the birth date of AmeriKKKKa. Sparkle Pony Princess (Ivanka?) even sat in the chair of Putie's office desk at the Kremlin with much fanfare and excitement.

Sparkle Pony Princess was let into Putin's office by Rupert Murdoch's former wife, who allegedly became Putin girl friend. Amazing all the circles one finds that are parts of Venn Diagrams.

It's the same ones that were involved with the insurrection. They hate America.

Sure, but I think you can account for that. It wouldn't be hard to find a control group that doesn't dance. Then you follow up by asking them if they boogied down in the last few weeks.

It's also very easy to find sedentary people. Sure, they move, but it's not hard to find people who walk fewer than 5,000 steps per day and do no other exercise.

232 for depression: try to get some exercise that makes you sweat every day, don't eat sugar and cut back on carbs, keep an eye on your sleep - if you can't get enough sleep learn some Non-sleep deep rest techniques, talk to at least three people who you aren't buying things from every day, and give yourself a random cue through the day to be the signal that you can either review one thing that you are grateful for or you can say relax and breathe.
Keep a daily journal at least one page a day, that you put down how you feel and what was good or at least what was accomplished. You can go back in it if you ever wonder if you are ever happy.

this won't cure your depression, but it may give you some relief

Posted by: Kindltot at February 21, 2024 12:58 PM (D7oie)

233 Sure, but I think you can account for that. It wouldn't be hard to find a control group that doesn't dance. Then you follow up by asking them if they boogied down in the last few weeks.

It's also very easy to find sedentary people. Sure, they move, but it's not hard to find people who walk fewer than 5,000 steps per day and do no other exercise.

You COULD control for it, but I bet they didn't.

The point being, this type of research is usually designed to get a conclusion first, then does the necessary manipulation of the data to get the result they want.

Bottom line: movement is good for mental health. And oddly enough, most other research has demonstrated, OUTDOOR movement is better than indoor... due to that fiery ball in the sky.

1)Pre-Beatle Phenom - the school years, the club years in Germany

2) Beatlemania Years

3) The Break-up and aftermath

4) Lennon Assassination and Aftermath

However, this sounds like lawsuit city to me since two Beatles are still alive and won't/shouldn't/are unlikely to put up with any shit they don't like. And Brit libel laws are very different than ours.

With all the issues that NY is facing right now, this just adds to the chaos. This is a huge sum for Trump but in light of the expected consequences will destroy NY for what is a drop in the bucket in relation to their budget.

271 Not sure how much authority a judge has (theoretically, this is clown world we’re living in) to specify.

Legal tender means it can be used for debts - and taxes, and government imposed fines certainly qualify.

Some states have legislation that probibit cute tricks like paying debts in nickles or dimes, things like that. The $10 minimum may be a state law, but I doubt it.

The law states existing debts in dollars may be paid back in cash, there is no way around that.

Had to go through some management bullshit back in the day, and the guy doing the program always asked, "What are the three good things that happened today? Write them down. What are the three things you are thankful for? Write it down"

The point was to get your mind focused on good things, rather than bad, since it is easy to latch on to bad things.

Also, writing it down takes more effort and locks in those thoughts.

305 MP4, is your depression worse at some times of the day than others?

My depression is always worse in the morning when I first wake up. Mornings stink. But then I have some breakfast and coffee (and take my sertraline), and I usually feel better.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at February

Slow dancing could be balance exercise, depending on your partner!

I think you gave excellent advice on using exercise as a means to improve mental health. It has the bonus of improving physical health as well. It may not feel like it at first, you may have to make yourself do it, but before you know it, you start feeling like you missed something if you didn’t workout that day and THEN you start to look forward to it. Key is finding what you will stick with, be it because you like it or because you paid for that membership and will get charged a fee if you cancel your class. Whatever the motivation, just get up and start to move.

I was thinking of the Soviet Union. Had I been born a little before 1918 then I might have been patiently waiting for all the nonsense to blow over and things go back to normal.

However the debt bomb seems to bringing the situation to a head, as Jules might say.

374 The Biden's are innocent of running a crime family. Turns out it was a Russian plot to take them down.

It was a bittersweet moment for me …

Jim, my stepfather is still going through this with my mom as he is taking things 1 day at a time. The house is so much of her, it’s hard not to have those bittersweet memories. It’s still so fresh and sharp for you, I am sure it’s very overwhelming at times. I should put you two in touch.

377 the best tea I have had was PG Tips, it is like Red Rose, but I sort of like it better.

378 @sharon - the devaluation of real estate alone from decreased demand for occupancy will cost New York way more than $400 million in tax revenue. That's not to mention the direct loss of tax revenue from people and businesses leaving. Punishing your successful through capricious application of dubious statutes is a fast track to decline. But New York's been on that track for decades.

379 @BourbonChicken, the coming fiscal crisis will be lit. I'm actually optimistic that what comes out on the other side will be better. But it'll be a tough decade or so getting there.

382 Trump was asked about "revenge" this week by Ingram, and said that living well is the best revenge. Our politics is broken and not fit-for-purpose, and he seems like he won't do anything.

Truly amazing, and the left knows it. With his money and his "contacts", he could have many of these people just simply disappear. But, they know he won't do it, so....
